Written in Blood: The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller

Product Information

The police caption Blake was also a complete jerk. After the failure to catch the killer, she was so disparaging. And she was not supporting the detectives in any way. They didn't even know that there were some recent victims, who could be alive. All they had to do was read the complete diary. Knygos silpnasis bruožas, kuris mane nuvylė, tai pats detektyvas Hanteris. Žinau, kad jis nuo pirmosios serijos dalies yra visažinis, kartais tai jaučia labiau, kartais mažiau, na bet šioje knygoje tai mane erzino skaityti, kaip visi veikėjai aplink padaryti "kvaili" ir uždavinėjantys klausimus su AKIVAIZDŽIAIS atsakymais, bet tik vienintelis Hanteris žino atsakymą. Jis žinos visus atsakymus, visus sprendimus ir šiaip iš esmės yra vaikščiojantis enciklopedija. Šis bruožas knygoje su kiekviena dalimi darosi vis neskanesnis, o gal tiesiog "Parašyta krauju" to turėjo daug daugiau, nei visos dalys iki šiol... Kiekvienos naujos šios serijos dalies laukiu su nekantrumu. Taip buvo ir su šia, jau vienuoliktoji dalis. Knygos stiprioji dalis buvo kitoks siužetas, nei mums įprastas - čia su žudiku susipažįstam nuo knygos pradžios ir nors jo aktyviai ieškoma, jis lygiai taip pat aktyviai dalyvauja visame veiksme. Soon, there is the discovery of another body. The methods and signature of the murder differs, but the level of violence used suggests that the same person is behind both crimes. Hunter’s fears are confirmed when a second part of the poem is found. Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information.

An insanely good crime series. Extraordinarily well written, high quality and high drama all the way’ Liz Loves Books With no forensic evidence to go on, Robert Hunter must catch the most disciplined and systematic killer that he has ever encountered, someone who thrives on the victims’ fear, and to whom death is a lesson that needs to be taught.

Take a Look at Our Summary of November Highlights, Whether You're Looking for the Latest Releases or Gift Inspiration It’s not long before the book is in the hands of Hunter and his partner, Detective Carlos Garcia. Angela had left it anonymously in a colleague’s mailbox, but an incriminating fingerprint on one of the photos stapled inside leads them to her. As she’s brought in for questioning, things look bleak. The book contains the thoughts of a seasoned serial killer who relishes describing their crimes in detail, down to the map reference of where the bodies were buried. Written in Blood will leave you holding your breath whilst waiting to find out more. With detailed descriptions of bizarre murders, no two are the same, it is an addictive read and excellent addition to the Robert Hunter series. The only small negative for me was that some things were over-explained with not every comment needing an explanation. In the previous books we have seen Hunter develop and progress and this one is no different. I actually felt that there was a softer side to him in this book in the way that he handled Angela from the start. He’s complex and mood driven, and his personality really shines through when he has got a problem to solve.

I am not sure if there is a bit of autobiographic fatalistic pessimism and nihilism in there too, could be subjective and thereby wrong, but regarding the circumstances of the creation of this work, it could easily be possible that we are seeing a reappraisal of life and preferences after a tragedy hit one of the most amazing thriller authors out there.What is even more disturbing is that, with such a setting, nobody is safe anymore. Before, it were certain main target audiences that got the most attention and deadly love by serial killers, but by imagining such a scenario, everyone could be a coincidental kill. Hope that the voices don´t have too specific wishes. But this discovery does more than just link the two killings. It suggests that this is the work of a serial murderer. My usual pragmatic self was somewhat surprised the detectives didn’t race through the book trying to find and identify the sixteen or so victims, but guess that would have been a tad laborious for we readers. Robert Hunter arrives to the most vicious crime scene of his career. It is made even more disturbing when the autopsy reveals a poem, left by the killer, inside the body of their victim. The mysterious caller however doesn't want Hunter to just watch, but rather participate in an act where refusing is not an option.

When will the bad guys learn that they have to kill the hero when they get the opportunity, and not start baring their souls. A gripping and intense psychological thriller with a very good plot and great characters that really draw you in.A journal ends up on Robert Hunter’s desk. It soon becomes clear that there is a serial killer on the loose. Its like a parody of police investigation books, a very dumbed down version of a murder series, and as if a 5 year old had been asked to write down a conversation he thinks an adult might have. Bob Mortimer wins 2023 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction with The Satsuma Complex If I have any quibbles on the plot it is probably the Detective Garcia character who I thought was weak being used mostly as someone for Hunter to explain things to, even when he does reach his own conclusion we are usually reminded that Hunter had got there before him . . . as if we didn't already know. Garcia needs to be pepped up with more of his own personality rather than just being a prop for Hunter.
